This collectible phone card features the iconic February 13, 1960 cover of The Saturday Evening Post magazine, illustrated by Norman Rockwell. The artwork, titled "Triple Self-Portrait," shows Norman Rockwell seated on a wooden stool, painting a self-portrait on an easel. Rockwell is depicted wearing a blue shirt and white pants, holding a brush in his right hand as he looks at himself through a mirror positioned on the left side of the composition. The mirror reflects Rockwell's face and upper body, aiding him in capturing his likeness on the large canvas in front of him.
The painting includes detailed elements such as a brown trash can filled with crumpled papers, a palette on a chair near the artist, and four small reference pictures attached on the right side of the easel. One of the smaller portraits is clearly identifiable as a portrait of a young boy wearing a hat, accompanied by three other small images. The easel's top is adorned with a decorative brass or bronze helmet, further enhancing the composition.
At the top of the card, the magazine title "THE SATURDAY EVENING POST" appears in black uppercase letters, with the date "13 February 1960" and the price "15¢" printed below it. Along the bottom edge of the card is the AmeriVox logo, which includes a stylized American flag and an eagle head, accompanied by the text "The World's New Voice in Calling" and a $21 denomination for the phone card. The artist's signature, "Norman Rockwell," is visible in red near the bottom right of the easel canvas. This card combines Americana artwork with a classic piece of fine art history, celebrating one of Rockwell’s most famous self-portraits.
